This invention relates generally to ironing boards, and particularly to that type of ironing boards classified as built-ins.

The first Object of this invention is to pro- Vide an exceedingly simple and eflicient ironing boardwhich can be folded up into a very small amount of wall space.

The second object is to so construct the board that it may be set up or taken down with extreme ease, and when set up provides a very rigid ironing surface.

The third object is to so construct the sam that it will have an underlying shelf or table which willsupport articles being ironed and 5 prevent articles from touching the floor while being ironed, such shelf being extendible.

The fourth object is to provide'a sleeve board which may be used above the'regular board, or folded out of the way, as desired.

These results are accomplished in the manner set forth in the following specification as illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device in position for ironing- Figure 2 is a perspective view showing same folded into its cabinet with portions thereof broken away in section. I Figure 3 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the sliding trays and supporting legs taken along the line 33 in Figure 1.. Figure 4 is a vertical section taken along the line 4-4 in Figure 1.- Figure 5 is a fragmentary perspective view showing the trays in an extended position. Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 5 but showing the parts in a folded position. v

Similar numbers of reference refer to the same parts throughout the several views.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the device is housed in acabinet consisting of the side members 10, the top 11, the bottom 12 and the back 13. A casing 14 and base-board 15 are also illustrated, 1n the sides 10 are formed the slots 16 in which are slidably placed the pins 17 which project laterally from the cross member '18 on the ironing board 19 whose opposite end is supported by a slanting brace 20 whose upper end is hinged to a pin 21 between the blocks 22 on the under side of the board 19. brace 20 is hinged on the pin 23 carried between-the blocks 24, which are secured on the one of cross ties 30.

On the inner side of the members 10 and resting on the bottom 12 are the blocks 25 The lower end of the to which are hinged the side frames'26 which carry the extendibleshel'ves consisting of the cross slats 27 and 28, the side rails 29 and the cross ties 30. The meinbers27and 28 overlap, the former being joined on their under sides by the cleats 31 and the latter by I the cleats 32. The members 30 are secured to the side frames 26 and the center strip 33.

The members 27 are also secured to the side rail 29 and'the members 28 are secured to the side rail 29. I 1

0n the underside of the shelf member is hinged an A-shaped supporting frame 34 on the pin 35 which passes through the center strip A cross tie36 unites the lower ends of the frame 34. V

into the rear edges of the members 10 is notched a cross tie 37 to which is hinged a sleeve board 38 supported bythe hinged legs 39 on top of the ironing board 19.

An iron holder is formed by the wires 40 on the member 18, which is preferably pro- V tected with asbestospaper. A springlatch 41 is secured to the cross tie 37 by means of tliesta-ples 42 and engages the pin 43 on the end of theironing board 19 when it reaches its horizontal position.

The operation of the device is as follows: When desiring to set it up for ironingit is only necessary to take hold of the ironing vboard and pull it outwardly from its casing in the wall. The pins 17 will now slide up 34 rest on the floor. The board is now ready for use.

If it is desired to iron a garment or article which might rest on the floor or tend to draw while being ironed, it isonly necessary to pull out one or both of the sliding trays by taking hold of their side rail 29 or 29Fand pull same outwardly. I

If it is not desired to use the sleeve board 38 it is merely folded up out'of the way, and the legs 39 will also fold up against the back.

Attention is drawn to my co-pending application, Serial N 0. 623,390, over which this invention is an improvement.

I claim 1. An ironing tablehaving, in combination, a cabinet adapted to be built into a wall, a frame hinged within the lower portion of the cabinet adapted to be swung from'a vertical to a horizontal position, the sides of said cabi net having upright slots formed therein, an

'wardly in their slots until the 7 pin 43 is en- I 'gaged by the-latch 41 and the feet of the frame loo ironing board mounted above said frame having laterally projecting pins at its inner end projecting into said slots, a support for the outer end of said ironing board hinged at opposite ends to said ironing board. and to said frame, and a pair of side extendible trays mounted on said frame adapted to be pro-- sides of said cabinet having slots formed therein near the lower end thereof, an ironing board having laterally projecting pins eX- tending into said slots, a frame beneathsaid ironing board having its rearward end hinged at the bottomrof said cabinet, supporting legs hinged to said frame, a brace having its opposite ends hinged between said frame and ironing board, and a pair of slat bottom members on said frame adapted to slide outwardly to project beyond the sides vof said ironing board.
